Do you run the day - or does the day run you?

The other day I shared my 'end-of-day' screen. Well, below is how it looks at the start of the day. Why am I sharing this? 🤔

However you manage your tasks, prioritising them is where the impact happens. 🔥

If we have a to-do list, chances are we'll work through it from top to bottom.

When we do that (without thinking about the relationship between the priority of the tasks - and the time of day we do them) we'll often simply cross off at the top, and add to the bottom. 👎🏻

You can either sort your actions into order at the start of each day - Great move! ✅

Or - even better - with task management software, the app can do it for you.

⬆️ ⬆️ 💥Power move and one less task in the morning💥 ⬆️ ⬆️

Once you've put the work into setting this process up (it's actually the 'E' in CLEAR®) - you can spend more time actually doing the work 💯

4 Categories are shown below (and yes, I've even shared the details - no secrets here!)

1️⃣ Tasks in my 'Power 3' priorities, or those I do first in the day

2️⃣ Routine tasks that I do during the day

3️⃣ Tasks for the end of the day wrap-up

4️⃣ Lower-level tasks, that can be done any time, usually routine, not earth-shattering if I miss one or two a day (there are about 15 of these today - you don't need to see 'em all!!)

If you feel like your day is running you, instead of the other way round - gimme a shout.
